Alternative name: Matrix metalloproteinase 2. Gelatinase A. 72 kDa Type IV collagenase. MW:~40kDa. Purity: ≥90% (SDS-PAGE). Formulation: Liquid In 50mM TRIS-HCl, pH 7.5, containing 300mM NaCl, 5mM CaCl2, 20µM ZnCl2, 0.05% Brij-35 and 20% glycerol. Source: Produced in yeast. Active recombinant matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2, gelatinase A, 72kDa type IV collagenase) cloned from human cDNA The enzyme consists of residues Tyr110-Asp452, which comprises the catalytic/fibronectin domain of human MMP-2, with a C-terminal purification tag. Use/Stability: The enzyme is stable on ice for at least several hours. However, it is recommended that thawing and dilution of the enzyme be done within as short a time as possible before start of the assay. After initial defrost, aliquot product into individual tubes and refreeze at -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/defrost cycles.
